And Walker, schools like Harker are not filled ith children of “loaded” parents, just hard working people who really value education.

<p>Harker’s tuition is about 3/4 of the median household income in the US; unless it is very generous with financial aid, it is likely that the student population is heavily skewed toward those from upper income households.</p>

<p>One can argue that the incremental value for a good private school is less for them than for a middle or lower income household, since the upper income households are likely to have access to better public schools than the middle or lower income households.</p>

What I observed is that the D and her friends from the neighborhood all went to this fancy school have developed bad habits, not sure if they use drugs but they start shoppinng at LV’s at the tender age of 10, nanny accompany to school and shopping, demanded Rolls Poyce for transportation, look down upon these “poor uncles/aunts”, never talked to my D at a sunday school class and very sloppy when we went on a trip together.

<p>Is it due to the school, or the upbringing from the parents, that results in this particular person being that way?</p>
